winner01: OP was simply trying to tell lies. OP tried to say that selling people into bondage was not allowed. He even went as far as saying the word translated as slave was wrong. It was supposed to be translated as an employee or a servant. That is a lie. As shown by the Jewish encyclopaedia selling people into bondage was also allowed. The slavery varies and so was the treatment of slaves. Jews are to be treated differently from gentiles. OP never touched on that.
How can a slave be treated better than a slave? They were properties and could be inherited. They could be beaten and branded. They had no right to own any property. They weren't paid any wages. Their kids were also owned by their masters, so what exactly are you saying? That you are even trying to justify it by equating it to the modern house maid or a football contract is pitiful and idiotic.
God permitting evil is your own making. You have to show me the God first and him permitting evil for me to take you seriously. If there is a God that allows evil to flourish then that God will tell people about it himself. He will never rely on you to tell people about it's intentions. I have told you that many many times. Only a God that lives inside your head will do that. And stop cursing me, im not used to living with hatred and agony. I have lovely people around me and we share love together. If you have never experienced love, it is not my fault. I'm not responsible for your misfortunes. I am not cursing you. I am just stating the fact. Any body that feels it's right to justify slavery is a fool period. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Slavery is a condition more recognizable than its label. It is easier to draw hair splitting distinctions between indentured servitude and base slavery. Both denigrate the human. What difference is there if a slave master is nice and neat with his slaves when such efforts perpetuate and promote a system where the human is an actual commodity prone to obscene abuse. Besides do you prefer Biblical indentured servitude or the secular anti Slavery values today? 1 Like |

Re: The Bible And Slavery: Answering Ignorant Atheists by KingEbukaNaija: 1:23pm On Jul 08, 2016 |
JackBizzle: Gosh , you guys can make the most irrational conclusions ever . In the old days , indentured servitude was seen as the last means of survival . Even today such is somewhat practiced . Poor people give their kids to rich couples to work as helpers for a fixed time . The rich couple is obligated to fund the child's education , feeding and clothing during that time and even pay them off after the time expires or when they are much older . 1 Like 1 Share |

[size=13pt]Except for murder, slavery has got to be one of the most immoral things a person can do. Yet slavery is rampant throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. The Bible clearly approves of slavery in many passages, and it goes so far as to tell how to obtain slaves, how hard you can beat them, and when you can have sex with the female slaves. Many Jews and Christians will try to ignore the moral problems of slavery by saying that these slaves were actually servants or indentured servants. Many translations of the Bible use the word “servant”, “bondservant”, or “manservant” instead of “slave” to make the Bible seem less immoral than it really is. While many slaves may have worked as household servants, that doesn’t mean that they were not slaves who were bought, sold, and treated worse than livestock. The following passage shows that slaves are clearly property to be bought and sold like livestock. However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT) The following passage describes how the Hebrew slaves are to be treated. If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.’ If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT) Notice how they can get a male Hebrew slave to become a permanent slave by keeping his wife and children hostage until he says he wants to become a permanent slave. What kind of family values are these? The following passage describes the sickening practice of sex slavery. How can anyone think it is moral to sell your own daughter as a sex slave? When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT) So these are the Bible family values! A man can buy as many sex slaves as he wants as long as he feeds them, clothes them, and has sex with them! What does the Bible say about beating slaves? It says you can beat both male and female slaves with a rod so hard that as long as they don’t die right away you are cleared of any wrong doing When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB) [/size] 6 Likes

KingEbukaNaija: A Yoruba muslim is not an Aboki. A cutlass is not a knife. A slave is not an indentured servant. You are damn too dubious to be honest about the difference. A slave is a property. You own a slave and can transfer the slave to your childs inheritance. The bible clearly states that foreign slaves are property. Bro.. .......stop the lies 3 Likes |
